Nirbhay’s maiden launch tomorrow

[SURYA-1]

Finally wait is over.....

not yet.I will wait till tomorrow before announcing that.

Finally wait is over.....

No , it is not ........... No guarantee that they will not change the test date again ......

Brahmous is very expensive and it is also stealthy and pin point but its cost is UP their so Nirbhay is a cheap price Alternative i guess

"thank you come again"

N most important Brahmos has range restriction of 290km while Nirbhay is 1000km missile.

Other than that Brahmos is a JV n its majorly refined Yankoot while Nirbhay is mostly indigeous...

[farhan_9909]

this missile will be a serious threat for pakistan than brahmos

because of its long range and stealthy flight

 

[scarcry]

congrats to India, Hindi and Bangla words have many similarities.
Nirbhay (Hindi)= Nirbhoy (Bangla) = Fearless

kamon acchen moshai? nirbhoy asche bhai!

Brahmos block III has 550 km range.....according to sengupta

Let them speculate buddy, good for us. BTW, I have more credible sources and its not the range they have mentioned

India has Agni-I Missile (Pakistan specific) with 1000KM range already, and as we know, Pakistan does not have any BMD, it will penetrate through Pakistani defense easily.

Then what did they mentioned and if possible please post the source .

 

[S-DUCT]

Launching distributed munitions from cruise missile is not new.Tomahawk has this capability is called "TLAM ID DISTRIBUTED SUBMUNITIONS".

Here's the video.

 

[Ayush]

good news.

avoid such comments which will derail the thread.

avoid such comments which will derail the thread.

Look at the post number 41 and 40, prior to mine.

Are they not derailing the thread?
So why are you a selective policeman?
Did you notify them too?

Best luck to DRDO for Launch

Nirbhay takes off from a road mobile launcher after a booster engine kicks the first stage. After the booster separates, the second stage, which has a turbo-jet engine, cruises at an altitude of 500 metres to one km. It will travel for a long time at a speed of 0.67 Mach. Aviation kerosene is the fuel.

I guessed the speed will be 0.65 mach. I was nearly right

Important Info

Country’s first subsonic cruise missile Nirbhay (Fearless) is all set to be tested for its full range of 1,000 km on Tuesday from Chandipur, Odisha.

BrahMos is the country’s supersonic cruise missile.

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) technologists said on Sunday preparations were in full swing for the launch of the two-stage surface-to-surface missile that uses a turbo-jet engine. The Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), a DRDO facility in Bangalore, has designed Nirbhay — a derivative of pilotless target aircraft Lakshya. The Research Centre, Imarat, Hyderabad, has developed Nirbhay’s crucial avionics while other DRDO laboratories have played their part in developing it.

Nirbhay, which looks like an aircraft, can drop bombs. It can be remotely controlled and brought back. In this mission, there are no plans to recover it or use it to drop bombs.

Nirbhay takes off from a road mobile launcher after a booster engine kicks the first stage. After the booster separates, the second stage, which has a turbo-jet engine, cruises at an altitude of 500 metres to one km. It will travel for a long time at a speed of 0.67 Mach. Aviation kerosene is the fuel.
(Like a member aleardy said that the first stage of two stage Nirbhay will be a booster)
“It will cruise in the atmosphere like an aircraft and it is capable of travelling up to 1,000 km,” said a DRDO missile engineer. “The biggest advantage with Nirbhay is that it can be launched from land, air and sea. It is a potent system,” he noted.

Nirbhay can fly over or around hills. It can fly at a very low altitude and avoid detection. Hence it is called a “tree-top” missile. It is a “loitering missile.” It can go around and around a target till it gets an opportune moment to bomb it. The U.S. equivalent of Nirbhay is Tomahawk. Pakistan has a cruise missile called Babur that has a range of 700 km.

A DRDO official said Nirbhay was on a par with the best systems of its class. It was a third variant of India’s missiles, the others being the Agni series and the underwater-launched K-15/B05 missile. Nirbhay has latest navigation and guidance technologies, which were better than Pakistan’s cruise missile, he added.

@IND151

Isn't the first stage of a GLCM always a booster ???
